John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)
"Flora" 1890 by Waterhouse (1849-1917). Oil on canvas (73x33cm). American Private Collection. Flora was one of a small number of paintings inspired by a trip made to the island of Capri. A maiden is arranging irises and narcissi as offerings to the Roman goddess (bronze statue) who personified the coming of spring. The 'Florifertum' festival began in Rome in 238 B.C. but fell out of favour in 173 B.C. The connection between girls and flowers was to become the predominant theme of the artist.
